As political discourse had been saturated with the ideas of
"post-truth", "fake news", "epistemic bubbles", and "truth decay",
it was no surprise that in 2017 The New Scientist declared:
"Philosophers of knowledge, your time has come." Political
epistemology has old roots, but is now one of the most rapidly
growing and important areas of philosophy. The Routledge Handbook
of Political Epistemology is an outstanding reference source to
this exciting field, and the first collection of its kind.
Comprising 41 chapters by an international team of contributors, it
is divided into seven parts: Politics and truth: historical and
contemporary perspectives Political disagreement and polarization
Fake news, propaganda, and misinformation Ignorance and
irrationality in politics Epistemic virtues and vices in politics
Democracy and epistemology Trust, expertise, and doubt. Within
these sections crucial issues and debates are examined, including:
post-truth, disagreement and relativism, epistemic networks, fake
news, echo chambers, propaganda, ignorance, irrationality,
political polarization, virtues and vices in public debate,
epistocracy, expertise, misinformation, trust, and digital
democracy, as well as the views of Plato, Aristotle, Mòzǐ,
medieval Islamic philosophers, Mill, Arendt, and Rawls on truth and
politics. The Routledge Handbook of Political Epistemology is
essential reading for those studying political philosophy, applied
and social epistemology, and politics. It is also a valuable
resource for those in related disciplines such as international
relations, law, political psychology, political science,
communication studies, and journalism.
